We have a policy to always start an application at Bronze level.
We know the reality of Wine - it can be very promising, but fail in important ways. So, we try to help our customers be cautious in their adoption. For example,
Photoshop, which actually is one of the very best
performing applications in CrossOver (it is in heavy use to make major motion pictures), started
at Bronze, and is now only at Silver.
With that said, we have found Dreamweaver to be very complete, with only a few remaining bugs.
And we have yet to find a bug in Flash...
(but we didn't try as hard there).
With all due respect, I think our
partners
would disagree with you. I also think
most folks would say we're easy to work
with, and we're always open to
ideas such as this.
As far as us being responsible for the Wine fork,
yes, I personally requested that Wine's license change to the LGPL; Alexandre made that change after he felt that a majority of the Wine developers supported it.
We had a beta tester report success
in installing and running Peachtree
but we haven't
verified or tried it ourselves.
He sent some impressive screen shots...
(thanks, Tom!).
However, the odds are that an untested application
like Peachtree will have enough bugs to not be
useable in a production environment.
Of course, a great way to fix that is to buy
a copy and then yell at us until we support
it .
Cheers,
Jeremy

The patches will start rolling in next week
as we merge our tree with the WineHQ tree. We only keep Wine patches out while we're
stabilizing a version of CrossOver. Cheers, Jeremy

The choice to fork was made by Transgaming.
There is a review here.
